Lok Sabha Election 2024: Telugu stars Jr NTR and Allu Arjun were among the first few celebrities who exercised their democratic right on May 13. The two stars reached their respective polling booths to cast their votes as they smiled and showed their ink-stained finger to the paparazzi.
The two reached their polling booth pretty early to avoid traffic and huge crowds which might disrupt voting given their star power. JR NTR was accompanied by his wife, Lakshmi Pranathi, and his mother, Shalini Nandamuri.
Videos of the two actors standing in a queue at their polling booths in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad are now going viral on social media.

As for Pushpa star Allu Arjun, he came with bouncers to the polling station. He skipped the queue and walked straight into the polling booth. After casting his vote, he was seen greeting people.
Speaking to the media, Allu Arjun said, "Please cast your votes. It's a very responsible day. I know it's hot, but the day decides our future." Quashing all rumours of his support or affiliation to any political party, Allu said, "I am not affiliated to any party. I am neutral. I will support all who are close to me. My uncle, my friend and my father-in-law are all in politics. Regarding the Nandayala campaign, I had given my word to my friend long back. It was a goodwill gesture. Hence, me and my wife personally met him."
